ARCHIVED - 12th April, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra perform works by Manuel de Falla at the Murcia auditorium

Among the orchestra’s repertoire is a mix of classics from the time of the Viennese heyday to contemporary works, and in its 21-year history important contributions to its prestige not only by Claudio Abbado but also by Daniel Harding, pianist Mitsuko Uchida and violinist Isabelle Fausty.
